How much does it cost to charge an electric car?
Speed and convenience demands a premium: charging is no different.
Charging at home and utilising a smart EV tariff is by far the cheapest way to charge an electric car, costing as little as 2p/kWh.
Using rapid public chargers at service stations or supermarkets are a great way to charge quickly, but cost more to use.
The great
Public chargers
Useful for long journeys or if you’re unable to charge at home, public chargers are incredibly convenient and quick. However, prices do vary and rapid chargers can be expensive.
The cheap
Smart charging at home
Installing a smart-charger and utilising an EV energy tariff is by far the most affordable and convenient way to charge your electric car. Learn more about charging at home.
The ugly
3-pin plug at home
Otherwise known as a ‘granny cable’, charging via a 3-pin plug is possible, but not recommended. We strongly encourage installing a proper smart-charger at home if you’re able to.
